Aces No Good for Negreanu
Level 14
: Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Marco Johnson raised from the small blind and Daniel Negreanu responded with a three-bet in the big blind. Johnson called to send the action to the flop.
Johnson check-called a bet from Negreanu on the 10♣3♣J♣ flop.
Both players checked through the 8♣ turn to the 6♥ river at which point Johnson bet. Negreanu called holding A♠A♥ but came in second to the J♦10♠ of Johnson.
"It could've been worse" remarked Negreanu, "but clubs saved me." Despite losing less than he might have otherwise, Negreanu was still left short following the hand.
